AP and Jerome Felton

[danewone]

im starting to think that without Jerome, AP is having a lot more trouble without him. what you guys think? AP did say it was no problem but so far these 2 games, AP been shutdown....

He is the 3 highest rusher in the league, I guess like Ricky Bobby said if your not first your last.

[SLCVikefan]

He's ahead of last years pace. So he's got that going for him!

Well, the thing is, with Musgrave's 1 WR condensed formation you have to blow up all of your blocks to have it work. Felton was a key piece of the cog for that FORMATION because he's a FB that blows up most LB's. In that sense we'd be better off with a single back set because our other FB / TE hybrids have mostly just clogged the lanes rather than opened them. Peterson would be fine on his own, but he's not, he has Line getting in his way haha!

Offensive line is getting manhandled. He's had nowhere to go. He's going to struggle to find room this week too.

At some point maybe Musdigagraveandthrowhiminit should consider getting rid of Ellison or Line and throwing Patterson out there more often. Oh, possibly move them all out a bit too and give AD some ability to actually move without 20 guys in a phone booth. more stupid #### 90s big ten offense garbage.

If the field wasn't trash last game he probably has 20+ more yards. He had holes a number of times and couldn't get traction when he tried to cut back and take advantage of them.

That field is a joke.

He's on track for 1500+ yards rushing this season. He's doing fine. Seriously. When Felton gets back, it will only get better!

This right here It doesn't seem to be as hard as Musgrave is making it. Spread em out, lets see if that works for awhile.

Yes, I agree. I am a little down that he isn't stepping up more, because he is like Superman. But once (if) Ponder hits those open guys, AD could easily rush for 200 yards a game. I just want to see him in a single back set, with 1 TE in.

Yeah, I would love to see him get more space to work in as well. That's when he gets scary fun to watch!

You are correct. They had a college game there on Saturday. Not much time for the field to heal. And Soldier field has been known for having some of the worst turf in the NFL for several years now. As to Peterson, he is doing just fine. Peterson will be home this week on good turf, and for a true sense, the Browns defense has only given up 119 yards of rushing in two games. So this will be a good test for Peterson.

I think Felton gone is part of the issue but the OL has had zero push since preseason and its not looking better

I agree with the exception that I think Kalil stepped it up from week one.
